The above image is a picture from the sonar of the Ocean Explorer salvage team from Sweden. They where searching for ship wrecks when, on June 19th, this popped up. The team leader said:
"At 87m down, between Sweden and Finland, they saw a large circle, about 60 feet in diameter," he told local media last week.
"You see a lot of weird stuff in this job but during my 18 years as a professional I have never seen anything like this.
"The shape is completely round … a circle."
Mr Lindberg said the team has also noted what they say could possibly be tracks running some 300m up to where the disc lies.
The team claims the tracks show the object has moved, either on or since settling to the ocean floor.
Six of the nine-member team were asleep in their bunks on-board the Ocean Explorer's ship at the time of the discovery, but the three watching the sonar "couldn't believe" what they were seeing.
Despite the promise of alien riches, Mr Lindberg said his team would not attempt to investigate the disc.
"It is not in our sphere of interest to go for this object, since it might be nothing," he said.
Then again it could be something.. I find it strange that a modern treasure hunter would pass up the chance to find a fallen UFO or even an underwater Stonehenge, both of which would bring untold riches.
This all seems as an attempt at fame, and maybe some financial backing. But then again, who knows?
Its could be this russian ship called Novgorod built in 1847
